If you are looking for activities to do in Majorca for an adventurous family holiday, then look no further. We share with you some of the more exciting activities to do in Alcudia and beyond.
Of course, holidays are for escaping the mundane and enjoying some relaxation, but they’re also for letting loose and having fun. After all, this is why a holiday in America is called a vacation, because you vacate your everyday life for fun in the sun.
Majorca has long been a destination for those who like to spend time outdoors and take part in activities. Family holidays are for making memories that you can cherish for a lifetime, and a holiday filled with excitement and adventure will certainly help you all do that.
What activities can I do in Majorca?
Hiking
Hiking is a much loved pastime in Majorca, and there are some incredible places right in the heart of Alcudia where Club MAC is located. There are easy, moderate and challenging hikes for every level of fitness and age to try. Some walks are perfect for exploring independently, while others are better with a guide who has specialized knowledge of the terrain and environment. Guided walks are often more suitable for families with older children or teenagers.
You could try the following in Alcudia:
All of these walks can be taken at your own pace (or the pace of the little ones), feature places to rest and can all be under 3 hours.
- Alcudia Coastal Walk – This is an easy walk that takes up to 3 hours, depending on how many times you stop for a cool drink or a swim in the sea. Ideally, for an active day out with the little ones.
- Puig de Sant Martí Walk – This walk is perfectly located just behind Club MAC hotel. The walk is enjoyed by families every year with children of all ages, and the views from the top are spectacular.
- Alcudia Old Town Walk – If you’re looking for an accessible walk, then this is the perfect one. It’s the ideal way to see Alcudia Old Town whilst soaking up the sights and culture.
Tips for a successful walk:
- Go prepared – Water, snacks, sun cream, hat, plasters, wet wipes!
- Follow a route – Club MAC or the local tourist office can help here
- Plan for regular rest, refreshment and play stops
- Check the weather for that day and wear appropriate footwear
- Make it fun, educational and make sure you ‘leave no trace’
Snorkelling
Coasteering
A relatively new activity and somewhat related to snorkelling is Coasteering. This activity is best enjoyed by families with children over a certain age and ideally by a guide to ensure safety and expert knowledge is used. Coasteering involves exploring the rugged coastline by way of scrambling, climbing, swimming, snorkelling and leaping. This is a fun way to experience Majorca and all the coastal treasures it has to offer.
Cycling
Cycling is another family friendly activity to do in Majorca. In fact, many people choose to holiday in Majorca because it is such a wonderful place to experience this activity. This is why many of the pro-cycling teams use Majorca as a base for their cycle training. So, what are you waiting for? Hire some bikes and get exploring this Majorcan island paradise by cycling its many wonderful routes.
Other fun activities that the whole family can enjoy include rock climbing, watersports, sailing, cave exploring, diving and, of course, there’s free entry to the Hidropark for all residents who are enjoying their family holiday at Club Mac.
We may be a bit biased, but at Club MAC we believe that Majorca is the perfect holiday destination for you and your family. So, if you haven’t decided where to go next year, here are five great reasons to come to Majorca. We can’t wait to welcome you back.
Summer: Why is Majorca the place to come for the perfect holiday?
Majorca really does have something for everyone. We have endless sandy beaches, ideal sunbathing weather and delicious food. There are plenty of outdoor activities to enjoy all around an island that is steeped in history. And when you fancy a bit of modern-day city shopping you can head to our capital Palma de Mallorca.
- Beautiful beaches and picture-perfect weather
We are very proud of our beaches here on Majorca. There are at least 200 beaches to enjoy, with white sands and perfect blue-green seas to rival those in the Caribbean. Whether you prefer sandy beaches or quiet coves, there’s also a real diversity to explore.
Our very own Alcudia Bay is ideal for families, with seven miles of sand and handy facilities. Of course, perfect beaches aren’t much fun if the weather is awful. Fortunately, we have great weather here too. Temperatures hit at least 29ºC in the summer and only drop to around 15ºC in the cooler months.
- Delicious cuisine fresh from the sea
While we offer lots of different foods in our all-inclusive meals at Club MAC, Majorca itself is known for its seafood and Spanish cuisine. You should visit a traditional restaurant when you stay with us, and enjoy traditional dishes like Spanish paella.
There are great restaurants right across the island with many serving the very best in Spanish and Mediterranean cuisine. It’s not all about the seafood either. Vegetarians can try all kinds of vegetarian tapas.
- There are endless outdoor activities to enjoy
If you’re looking for fun ways to burn off all that delicious food, Majorca has you covered. The island has loads of adventures on offer, whether you’re looking for a family outing or want to go on an adrenaline fuelled trip. If you’re feeling adventurous, canyoning is a great way to see some of the island’s most beautiful natural wonders. Before you know it, you’ll be zipping down natural water slides and abseiling remote canyons.
We also recommend walking in the Mondrago Natural Park (try and spot a gecko while you’re there!). Finally, Majorca is also world famous among cyclists. It has the perfect combination of hills and great weather that makes it an ideal place to train (or explore at a more leisurely pace).
- Explore Majorcan history
History surrounds you wherever you go in Majorca and there are lots of historical sites to visit in Palma itself. The 2,000-year-old capital is home to the Cathedral de Mallorca, the Royal Palace of La Almudaina and the spectacular Castell de Bellver.
But the island’s history also stretches right back to prehistoric times too, and you can still visit the remains of villages like Calvia near to Palma. We are also very proud of the Roman remains at Pollentia, close to us in Alcudia. It was a strategically important Roman city and has an excellent museum.
- Discover the capital of the Balearic Islands
Palma de Majorca is also a modern, vibrant city. It has a world-famous nightlife scene with many excellent bars, clubs and restaurants to enjoy. And it is also the perfect place to shop. Enjoy browsing in bustling markets or in high end boutiques when you visit.
Palma gets very busy in the summer, but the city is big enough to find a corner away from the crowds. If you’re looking for a bit of culture, then the Es Baluard art museum is well worth a visit. There are also plenty of great family attractions here too. We recommend the excellent Palma Aquarium for an entertaining day out with the kids.
There is always plenty to do in Majorca and we offer a number of excursions from Club MAC Alcudia. To find out more take a look here.

If you are staying at Club MAC Alcudia in 2017, you may want to check out Majorca’s most sacred site – the picturesque Lluc Sanctuary.
Fascinating history
Majorca has been Christian for centuries. The religion was first-introduced to the Island during the latter part of Roman rule. Despite falling into Muslim hands for centuries, Christianity continued to thrive across the largest Balearic Island and today, Majorca is fiercely Roman Catholic.
This means that you can find a variety of breath-taking historic churches and monasteries throughout Majorca. If you want to stay close to our resort, you could check out the Sant Jaume church. Based in Alcudia’s old town, this house of worship is known for its glorious 19th Century Baroque architecture.
Lluc Sanctuary
But if you fancy going further afield, you could visit Lluc Sanctuary. Nestled within the picturesque Serra de Tramuntana Mountains, Lluc Sanctuary is just 40 minutes’ drive away from Alcudia. Considered Majorca’s most sacred site, it features a museum (open every day from 10am to 2pm except Saturdays) and Botanical Gardens (open weekdays from 10am to 1pm and 3pm to 6pm).
Lluc has been a pilgrimage site since the 13th Century. During this time, an Arab boy who had recently converted to Christianity discovered a dark wooden statue of the Virgin Mary in a cleft of rock inside a cave at the site. The statue was placed in a local church but miraculously returned to the cave three times. The local villagers saw this as a message from God, so they built a house for the statue, which eventually became Lluc Monastery.
Today, you can visit the statue, now encrusted with precious stones and known as La Moreneta, at Lluc Sanctuary. At the site, you’ll also find a museum that displays ceramics, chalices, and coins once used by the monks who lived there. The museum also features stunning paintings by the 20th-century Majorcan artist Josep Coll.
Bardolet.
You can visit Lluc Monastery for 5€, which is particularly known for its daily choir concerts. At 11 am, the 40-member Es Blauets choir, founded in 1531, delights listeners with beautiful religious hymns, offering you a unique experience. You should also check out the Sanctuary’ Botanical Gardens, which features charming rockery and exotic plants from around the Balearics!

Its name is based on the Arabic phrase “al fabi” which means “jar of olives.’ Historians believe that the complex was designed by the territory’s Muslim governor Benihabet, who converted to Christianity after the invasion. The house was then re-modelled in the 18th Century, becoming a classic example of Baroque architecture.

As the Park is based off the mainland, it can only be reached by sea. If you’re driving, you will need to park up on the mainland and take a boat trip out to Sa Dragonera Natural Park, which officially became a nature reserve after being occupied by environmental protesters in 1977. You can visit the Park year-round, with opening times ranging from 0:00 to 17:00 between 1st April and 30th September and from 10:00 to 14:30 during the rest of the year. So why should you take a trip to Sa Dragonera?

The Park is famous for its stunning, unique flora and fauna. Sa Dragonera is particularly known for its native wall lizard population, a creature that cannot be found anywhere else on the planet. It also boasts the largest Eleonora’s falcon population in the Balearic Islands and a wide range of sea-faring birds, such as the Balearic shearwater, which is endemic to this archipelago.
Sa Dragonera is also home to five species of bat, some of which are migrant. The Park includes the surrounding waters, so when you head to Sa Dragonera, you can check out the Posidonia oceanic prairies, which possess a wide range of marine species and coral communities. Sa Dragonera’s flora is just as impressive as its fauna, with 361 plant species, 18 of which are native to the Balearics.
